No-block cocker?

[prettyful_unicorn]

Is it possible to have the pump arm connected directly to the bolt, enabling it to function without a moving block?

anything's possible  take a look at the catapult for instance.

I have seen those catapults before, but I do believe that the bolt rides on a tiny slide.

well then if anything, you wouldn't be able to connect the pump arm to the bolt since the bodt and front block would have to be redesigned.  you could however possible connect the pump arm the the bolt pin using another pin, but then you might as well use a slide becasue the small diameter of the pin could cause wabble in the pump arm which could potentially lead to badness. *shrug*  be fore warned, i'm a new guy and my understanding of autocockers is somewhat limited as of yet. :oops:

With standard cocker layout, it's not likely you'll see a linkage/block-less design. It's just the most logical design given the location of the parts. Now there is no saying you can't do a ram-bolt or internal ram style of cocking, especially with the advent of the mQ valve. Those would probably be the ways to get rid of any block at all.

I've actually been trying to do the same thing. It's too much work to worry about and it would be really hard to make the ram fit all inside the body. But, it can be done with an internal ram.
